Okay, okay I admit it. I actually decided to watch other, much crappier series over this one, mainly because the weird animation of the first episode (which didn't occur to me was actually intentional) turned me off 5 mins into the show. Boy do I regret it, since this show is the funniest anime series in recent memory. It would take a whole damn lot to knock this series as my #1 show to watch this season.

BTW, while I'm sure it's already commented (too lazy to wade through the 17 pages), the ending dance is so effing loveable the way it's animated. They should have a DVD bonus in which they animate the characters dancing to the full song; that would be wickedly cool.

Holy crap this thread is getting really popular. I sleep and go to classes for a few hours and I end up a few pages behind T_T

Then we'll end up having a 'Hail Hail Haruhi', MM(mune mune?) Mikuru, YY Yuki...

In that case, I propose divisions within the S.O.S dan. For example, Nagato Yuki fans could belong to the uujuujin division simply because she's everyone's favourite evil-magician alien etc.

Mindyou, keeping that level of quality throughout an entire series (wether 12 or 26 episodes) would cost a truckload to execute. Some studios simply can't get the money to create such high quality product.

@DannoHung: Nice ID cards, they will serve well to unite all S.O.S. members

Omg KiNa and Maids! wandered over to this thread Can I assume that there'd be more crazy avatars and a ton of image posts in the near future?^^

I just had an epiphany. The series is technically brilliant and the characters are awesome and stuff, but the reason I'm really getting into this is y'know, because I believe they're out there. Fluke Man, the Matrix, Zombies, Space Travellers, giant governmental conspiracies about Fluoride in the Water supply.

I mean, I'm not sure which ones have happened or not (except the Chupacabra, damned Chupacabra), but I believe that stuff's out there, somewhere.

edit: BTW, it's worth noting that the card's aren't set in stone... I mean, seriously, a computer that used stone as a storage medium? That would suck, the throughput on that sort of media would be glacierlike.

It could be more general if the entire name of the show was appended to Suzumiya Haruhi, say:S.uzumiya Haruhi no YuutsuO.riginal (Obsessed?)S.upporters
dan.

That makes sense.

I'm still a bit confused on on cards... like what does the rank mean? Is the agent number just random? And I'm going to have a hard time coming up with 'specializations'

So... if 'divisions' for different favourite characters are going to be put in..

Spoiler for just in case:

maybe we could change 'specialization' to a single entry category (instead of the multiple entries Danno has made now) to reflect that? Say a Yuki fan will have:

I have to agree there. This is easily my favorite anime so far this year. The only thing I can think of being wrong with it is the first episode might turn people off, which has been mentioned before. I've already recommended it to a few friends.
